Study: Reducing heat stress cell by cell

ABSTRACT: A US/Turkey study into how cell signaling paythways can be altered by certain phytochemicals in food, and thus reduce heat stress in poultry. By K Sahin, C Orhan, MO Smith and N Sahin Heat stress compromises performance and productivity through reducing feed intake, while decreasing nutrient utilisation, growth rate, egg production, egg quality and feed efficiency, leading to economic losses in poultry. High temperatures can lead to oxidative stress associated with a reduced an
